15: Gamble!
Jennifer regarded the man in front of her for a moment. He doesn't look like a regular.“Are you sure about that? There’s no going back once you’ve started,” she warned.Oliver looked at the speaker, it was Noah, one of his employers. He was shocked at first. What was he doing there?Then he laughed. He must be there after being sacked and sent out of the house he had provided for him.Now that he had no use for his life, he had decided to gamble. Perhaps he could double the wages he gave him.“You should take Miss Jennifer's warning to heart, Noah,” Oliver warned suddenly. “Or you will be wasting your wages right here.”“Do you know him, Mr. Oliver?”Oliver had actually earned himself some reputation at the casino for winning in a role but Oliver knew what he was doing. He was only good at one casino machine and he made sure that was the only game he played.Besides, there was a special reason for that. After his company had signed under Lussotech, it flourished.But Oliver wanted mo
14: A challenge
He arrived at Gilbert's house and he was let in without delay.Gilbert was in the living room, his phone glued to his right ear, and an angry expression on his face.“Why didn't you give the phone to her? Did you tell her I was the one who wanted to speak with her? And I’ve been trying to get across to her since yesterday? Why the heck would she refuse to talk to anyone!” He yelled in anger, frustration edging his voice.Noah hesitated. Was something wrong?“Tell her it's important!” He finished and finally hung up.Noah moved closer worriedly. “Is everything alright?”“No, Jennifer has refused to answer her phone or do anything for three days. Instead, she isolated herself at the Il Leone casino!”Il Leone's casino?“Its the casino owned by your father. Though, it's being controlled by the fake Cedric currently,” he explained, then calmed down. “Don't worry, I have ordered her assistant to find a way around it. You will definitely see Jennifer today,” he reassured him.Noah thought a
13: Meeting with Jennifer
What Just Happened?Noah hesitated, then moved to one of the men who were struggling to walk away. Hot anger surged through him. He pulled one up and held a hand around his neck.“Where is she?”“What?”Noah squeezed harder, his anger almost blinding him. “Where is the woman you wanted to take? Where have you taken her to?”The man struggled to talk.Seeing this, Noah let him go and he dropped to the floor, coughing severely.“No, that wasn't us. Though, I saw a man take her away, I promise, that wasn't us. We even thought the man was working for you because he took a lot of your videos.”Noah felt a cloud of confusion overshadow him. Whom could it be?“What was he wearing?”“A suit! Please, let me go!” The man cried.Noah thought for a moment. Could it have been Adam? Well, Adam wasn't so close to Aria to have helped out.Well, they might not be close but it doesn't mean they wouldn't save each other. They might not hate themselves to that extent. But then, why would Adam take videos
12: To the rescue
Noah looked at her very well to be sure she was really the one. Indeed, she was.But what was she doing at the bar?Aria went to a corner and sat. Where she stayed, it was impossible to see Noah but Noah could see her clearly without any obstruction.“This is really tasteful, Cedric. Have some,” Robinson pushed a glass of wine to him.“I sincerely don't know the boss's alcohol tolerance.”“Well,” Noah smiled and drank the wine at a go. “Very good actually.”“Wow, he has high tolerance!” Robinson laughed as he poured himself a glass of alcohol too and drank it at a go. “Seems like I've met my competitor.”Everyone laughed at this.Noah turned to Aria again. She had her head on the table as the barman brought her orders. Noah signalled to the barman and beckoned him over.“What did she order please?”The barman glanced at Aria. “Whiskey on the rocks, sir.”Noah nodded once. “How is the alcohol like?”“Strong actually.”Noah nodded again. “You can leave.”The barman bowed slightly before
11: Cedric’s loyalists
“What a coincidence to meet you here. I wonder what those idiots would have done if I wasn't around,” Gilbert complained.“They have always been like that actually. It's really not new to me.”As Robinson closed the door, he hurried to stand in front of Noah, with his back slightly bent. “Is this true?”Noah regarded him for a moment, with confusion written all over him before he turned to Gilbert. “Is what true?”Gilbert laughed. “I told him the truth, Cedric.”Robinson smiled. “It's my pleasure to be able to meet Cedric personally. I need to stay this close to you so I don't forget this in a year to come.”Noah sighed, “Gilbert!”Gilbert laughed again.Actually, the two friends were having a discussion when they saw that there was trouble downstairs through the camera. Gilbert saw Noah first and so informed Robinson of who Noah really was.“Robinson has been my close friend since forever. And he's a true fan of you, just that he has never seen you before.”“Please, let me bow,” Robi
10: Facesmacking
Everyone was shocked.“What's happening? Why is the bank closing at such an hour?”“This is a theft involving a huge amount of money. Don't you think the manager is right to close the bank?”“Besides, he must have stolen it from one of Casington's bigwigs. He's in big soup today.”“But what will happen to me,” the rich man from earlier complained. “I need to withdraw right away,”One of the security men moved closer to him. "You are to leave immediately or we will force you out," he threatened.The man groaned but eventually followed the others out.Philip felt bad as he was not able to collect tips from the man this time around. Yet, he was happy that he was able to catch Noah. Humiliating Noah was enough for the day.Within a twinkle of an eye, the whole bank was empty except for the workers and Noah. At this point, Noah had no idea what was really happening.But everyone gathered around and started whispering among themselves.The first thing that came to his mind was to call Gilbe
